This year I gifted my immediate family two plane tickets to the mountains of Roanoke.
We'll be far from anyone wanting to exchange shitty gifts.

I give every adult on my list a box of King-Sized condoms.
That puts a damper on the next year situation.

We do it.
Man some of you Grinchy motherfrickers just hate giving don't you?
I love giving gifts. It makes me feel good inside. And I don't care about getting.
But you scrooges are just insufferable. Can't even be bothered to get a damn gift without throwing a fit?
Santa frowns on you.
All you crumbsnatchers got a ton of gifts growing up, and now you can't even spare a card for Granny and a Bottle of Gin for Uncle Chester? Maybe a damn Candle for aunt Irene?

Oh, no. Only kids and when they're out of college its stops for them.

The adult siblings decided not to exchange gifts this year for the first time. Giving my parents gifts, and gifts to the kids. Makes things a lot easier, but also a little sad, TBH. It remains to be seen if anybody breaks down and gives gifts anyway, making everybody else look like shite. We may all end up doing it

Yes. Only adults on my side I buy for are my parents, and my 16 y/o brother. Always get a little something for my godparents, but never more than $20.
Husband's side hands out a list and spends a couple hours going around opening gifts. All 20+ in front of each 30+ year old adult with a good job. It's....strange.
And by strange I mean stressful, excessive, unnecessary. I keep trying to find ways to ask for it to stop but it causes tension anytime I bring it up with them.

I buy gifts for my siblings and parents and mail to them...just mailed them off today 
With my husband's family....it is just his parents, us two, and his sister and her husband and son. So holidays are always small get togethers. So we still buy gifts for each other. Although everyone usually will spend more on gifts for our nephew(he is the only child in the family at the moment so he racks up at Christmas).
I think it really just matters how big of a family you have.

We do, but there are only six of us total that do it. The other half of the family doesn't, except for maybe a game of White Elephant.

Gift giving is just for children?
What a miserable world you must live in.

It's not that I don't want to exchange gifts, I just have everything I want
Posted on 12/16/15 at 6:33 pm to Tiger Ryno
I don't partake in it but I have no issue with people that do.
Posted on 12/16/15 at 6:39 pm to Tiger Ryno
My brothers are so hard to buy for, and I'm sure I'm no breeze either. We just give to the kids, our godchildren and mother.

I love giving gifts. We give all parents and step parents gifts, and we do a secret Santa deal with just my siblings and their spouses, and on my wife's side, siblings and certain cousins and their spouses. So it works out to seven gifts to parents and four gifts to siblings/cousins.
And of course all the chirren get awesome presents from their awesome aunt and uncle.

The adults still exchange gifts, but our family isn't that big. 4 siblings, 1 BIL, 1 SIL, mom and dad, 1 nephew, 2 nieces. My sister also exchanges with her in-laws which is a little more, but still only 1 kiddo. That kid is going to start racking up in the next couple of years.

Yes and it fricking sucks.
BIL and sister in law love to overspend and try to impress every year and my wife feels bad that we don't match them. I refuse to go full retard and spend money on credit like them to buy these big grandiose gifts for everyone.
frick that. If you have a kid, I'll buy a gift for your kid.
